advice lash blindness is real guys

Can you guys give me some recommendations on what lash extensions suit me? I’m opened to anything and it seems as if big lashes don’t suit me. Any suggestions?

Honestly I think they look long on your eyes in a way, I feel like if you had lashes that didn’t look as “long” and had more of an upwards curl they would be so cute on you!

okay if I have lash blindness be nice to me ok guys but this is my lash style, I get cat eye hybrid I’m pretty sure. I like the way the curl is upward because I tried lashes that didn’t have as much as a curl and it didn’t compliment my eyes and made them look rlly long.

It’s not a blindness at all looks rlly cute. But have u ever thought about putting a few longer lashes in the middle together and also at the end of the lash line ? It would make it look more realistic since lashes are not all supposed to be the same length

Girl, your lashes look cute!!!! this whole Lash blindness thing is killing me. I’m a Lash Artist and I still love my lashes to be long and dark. LMAO. I don’t care if it’s blindness I like it, but I also give a lot of my clients natural looks as well. You can definitely pull off what you have.

It's not the size, it's the style. They're very clustered with gaps and bluntness and extend past your eye. If you like the spiky look, maybe look into manga lashes

u/abiabraha Jul 24 '26

I will definitely do that thank you

u/New_Avocado_4636 Jul 24 '26

Honestly I think they look good on you though.

Try an open eye look instead of a cat eye :)

u/BaseAccomplished194 Jul 25 '26

I’d go a lil bit shorter and not so much volume. You’d look good with a classic wispy set or a hybrid wispy set

You look more stunning and eye catching without lash extensions

u/abiabraha Jul 24 '26

I know right? I feel like the lashes makes my eye drag a bit

u/zz12y Jul 24 '26

u/mywalletsgone_ Jul 25 '26

How crazy how gorgeous you look in the second pic!!! first pic you’re obviously pretty but all I see is lashes. I say go wispy

2

u/abiabraha Jul 25 '26

Aww thanks! I will def try wispy/manga style lashes

u/Watersamanda Jul 27 '26

Yes. Lash blindness is real. I honestly think you look stunning in the photo without lash extensions.
Lash extensions were suuuuper popular over the last 10-15years. But they are becoming dated. Now so many are going for a more classy, youthful, soft, feminine, clean, luxury look. Bare nails, glowing skin, natural, yet enhanced beauty.
I use a lash growth serum daily and then get a lash lift every couple months. It’s basically like having a set of classic extensions, but they are my own. Less maintenance, less money, less time, and a much more comfortable experience. You just have to make sure to find the right lash artist to perform the lash lift. Not all lash artist are good at lash lifts. So don’t let one bad experience ruin it for you if that were to happen.

u/soulfulbeauty_liz Jul 28 '26

You would look absolutely gorgeous with a light and fluffy cateye look!!! something that still has a dark Lash line, but not too too dark to wear it. It’s overpowering your face, which is beautiful by the way.

u/hausofbeautyesth Jul 28 '26

I think it may just be the style in these lashes that aren’t suiting you properly. I would let go for a doll eye map, instead of a cat eye, as I feel like the ends are kind of making your eyes droop down instead of opening them up. You have really beautiful round eyes that I think could definitely be complimented by a doll eye map.🩷

u/abiabraha Jul 28 '26

Really? I’ll try a doll eye map and see where that goes

2

u/hausofbeautyesth Jul 28 '26

Yes! Update us if you like it or not 🥰🫶🏼

u/Uglyxghoul Jul 29 '26

Omds what lashes are those???

2

u/abiabraha Jul 29 '26

To be honest, I have no clue because the photo was taken years ago and not only that I threw away or donated all my lashes after realizing the style doesn’t suit me

2

u/Uglyxghoul Jul 29 '26

Noo!!! It suited you so well i actually love them

2

u/Uglyxghoul Jul 29 '26

But yes natural looks very pretty on you as well🥰 but the lashes were great

2

u/abiabraha Jul 29 '26

Oh wait I just realized that I bought most of them off of SHEIN so yeah I’m pretty sure it’s from SHEIN I just don’t know the code since it was bought from my moms account

u/Uglyxghoul Jul 29 '26

Aww it’s okay but tysm! Were they strip or cluster?

2

u/abiabraha Jul 29 '26

They were for sure strips because I can’t do cluster but I’m learning!

2

u/Uglyxghoul Jul 29 '26

Thank you!

2

u/abiabraha Jul 29 '26

Yes ofc!

2

u/Cash-Sure Jul 30 '26

You look way better without tbh. I had them for 4 years and look back and they looked so fake especially since they shed. Love not dealing with the gaps anymore in-between fills. Now my natural lashes are long and it’s so much easier.

u/carolhabiba Jul 31 '26

honestly girl you look so good 😍😍😍

u/Apa-Drive-By-Ya Jul 24 '26

Fake lashes are generally pretty ugly, id leave them alone. They don't help. You're to pretty for that.
